Risen

I find myself awakening after many years of sleep
I drowned myself in sorrow in a hole I dug too deep
Now it's time for me to rise and look up to the sun
Let the heat rain down on me while I forget all that I've done.

I've cleaned the mess behind you and my life is free and clear
It's been many months now since I've shed a single tear.
I pull the blinds open and let my shadow run and hide
Never to return again I'm sure as the old me has died.

The door is open wide now ready for step outside
I'll start with a single step, then two, and hopefully find my stride.
I'll leave the past behind me exactly where it should remain
Taking with it memories of you, along with all the pain.
